Boland eges the last one through gully for four.
Australia have the best script writers!
Quite the field setting too. Five slips and three in a leg side trap
Looked like Bethell might have dropped him?

Yep, at first glance I didn't think it had carried. Turns out that it did (at least on a CricInfo check)

Australia opening the batting with Scott Boland.
So much potential for weirdness...
- golden duck to end first innings, then opens batting for the second...
- Could Tongue get a hat-trick, with two of the wickets being the same batsman? Has that been done before?
- can he get some wickets in second innings, and claim a 10-wicket haul plus credit as opening batsman?

Great reward for bowling so well, having to bat again to make up for his top score order shitting the bed.
Cricket is a funny game.
Crazy day, will be over half way through day three I reckon

It's either a two day Test. Or the dramatic MCG script writers have tons to Smith and Buschange in a big partnership together in mind.

Conway and Latham proved there are still quite a few records and firsts out there still to be broken…..

The same batsman out twice in a hatrick has apparently happened once in first class cricket.

Just when this Ashes series wasn't enough of a farce, the MCG provides that pitch. Groundsman should be sacked.

Probably the only time Brookes batting approach was justified Get as many runs as you can before a ball with your name on it ends your innings.

He's disappointed this series but third behind Crawley ( ?!?! ) and Root in runs scored for England this series.
